A Little About MY Other Half...

HIS NAME - Daniel Scott - his bro Dave chose his name. His name was going to be Michael Paul

HOW LONG WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER - 11 years in March.

HOW LONG WE DATED - 6 weeks before we were engaged. Engaged 4 months.

HOW OLD IS HE? 35

WHO EATS MORE? he does! All I have to say is don't mess with his food!

WHO SAID I LOVE YOU FIRST? He did. We were outside his apartment, standing by his car and he said "I think I love you". he he :) I said "Well, I think I love you too" We haven't missed a day of saying it to each other since!

WHO'S TALLER? That's a tough one LOL! He is but only slightly. He's 5'10" and I'm 5'8".

WHO'S SMARTER? He is! All I have to say is don't play trivia games with Dan...he'll beat you every time, hands down! He's like a filing cabinet with random facts constantly on the tip of his tongue!

WHO DOES THE LAUNDRY? ME!!!

WHO DOES THE DISHES? 50/50 He helps with dishes all the time when he's home! I love it!

WHO SLEEPS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED? Me

WHO PAYS THE BILLS? Me....but we sit down and go through our budget weekly together. Dan is amazingly good with money! I just basically write the checks.

WHO MOWS THE LAWN? He does...I do all the weeding!

WHO COOKS DINNER? We both do. I plan the meals. He's a great cook! He makes me meals all the time...omelets in the morning and his fav thing to make me is a great steak dinner w/ crab salad, potato and fresh greens. Dan also makes the best chocolate chip cookies!

WHO DRIVES WHEN YOUR TOGETHER? Why this question? Dan ALWAYS drives! He goes insane in the passenger seat...no control whatsoever and when I really want to make him crazy, I insist on drivng just to get a rise out of him.

WHO IS MORE STUBBORN? Hmmmm....that's a tough one...we're both really stubborn!

WHO KISSED WHO FIRST? He kissed me! We were sitting on my porch at the end of our 3rd date and he leaned in and said "Aren't first kisses awkward?" And it was the best kiss!

WHO ASKED OUT WHO FIRST? Well after he stared at me for about 6 months and after I grabbed him to dance with me at a single adult dance to get away from a very persistent boy...he asked me out...and I said "it's about time!"

WHO PROPOSED? He did! He wants you to know nothing he planned worked out, which is what makes this story so great! We had picked out a ring a couple of weeks before and he didn't tell me he'd picked it up and he came to my house after work. We were sitting around visiting with my fam and he said he had to drop off a cd player and cd's to his buddy and that he needed to get going and I really wanted to go, so he said okay...We drove downtown to the church we first danced at before school began for the year and said he was meeting the kid there but all the doors were locked. So he said he'd check to see if he was at the college. So it's like 9:00 p.m. and they were starting to close things up at the school and so we're walking through the school and we go up the stairs to where our Old Testament class was held (where he stared at me for 6 months!). He checked that door and it was locked so we went up to the ballroom (I had no idea what was going on...none!). He plugs in the CD player and plays Bryan Adams "I'll Always Be There" and asks me to dance with him and I'm thinking we need to get out of there, they're locking up! He just dances with me and during the song and tells me he heard this song earlier that day and called the radio station to get the name of it because it was exactly how he felt about me and asked me to spend eternity with him. He pulls the ring out of his sock (he he) and put it on my finger. I flipped out! I was so excited that he managed to make what was going to be so expected such a sweet surprise!

WHO HAS MORE SIBLINGS? I do, by one! He has 2 brothers and I have 3.

WHO WEARS THE PANTS IN THE FAMILY? He does, in some ways and I do in others...we won't go into that too deeply! We work together well until we don't ha ha!
